Harlaston WI - Village Voice (28 February 2010)
Members were happy that this month we didn't have to struggle through snow to meet for our February meeting at Edingale School. Mary read the January minutes and matters arising were:
Jane then introduced our speaker, John Brinkley who took us on a journey entitled "some like it hot" and using beautiful photos and music he took us to Acapulco - known as the pearl of the pacific - then on to New York in the Summer, Tunisia and Mykonos a real Greek treat. His finale was the fields of beautiful poppies which appear at our local Memorial Arboretum at Alrewas - what a lovely sight. Patricia Pitt, gave the vote of thanks, donned in sun hat and sun glasses inkeeping with the theme "some like it hot." Our next meeting is at Edingale School 7.30.p.m. on March 9th - we'd very much like to see you there. |
